Hock Seng Rojak @ Macallum Flat on Cecil Street, Penang

All rojak sellers in Penang claim that their rojak is the best as seen in their sign board of A1, AAA and so forth but there is one stall that truly stands out. It is Hock Seng Rojak stall, located on the ground floor of Macallum Flat in Gat Lebuh Cecil, Penang.

The bite-sized pieces of local fruits and vegetables are packed separately from the rojak sauce made with pungent shrimp paste (ha koe). The rojak sauce is so thick, not the usual watered down types.

The sauce is sprinkled with some roasted squid powder followed by roasted peanuts. The owner uses uncut peanuts which tasted so much better compared to other stalls that uses crushed peanuts.

Lastly pungent dried shrimps are added on, giving texture and taste.

Even my hubby and son who are not keen eaters of rojak gave their thumbs up. Click here for the Map Location.

Feedback from one of my readers, Yoong :

A general description — the sauce is thick and potent, topped with dried squid powder, roasted peanuts and dried shrimps. We’ve never had it like this before.

I am searching for it on last Saturday but very sad unable to locate this stall on the whole Gor Tiao Lor. My husband even help me to go through this road a few times but we still have to went back with empty handed.

[…] visible from the main road but still walkable distance to the main road, which coincidently houses Hock Seng Rojak, my favorite rojak stall. It is one of the places with good Hokkien dishes that come with reasonable […]

Thanks to your precise directions, we managed to find the stall and this has got to be one of the most delectable rojaks we’ve had, ever. Prior to that, we had rojak at New World — it’s substandard n seriously nothing compared to Hock’s.

We returned the following day to “ta pao” more back home. Thanks Ms. Lam!

Thanks for the great info, his rojak is really the best I’ve tasted. Btw the google map location is wrong, if you’re coming from coastal highway from Jelutong his stall will be on the right side, turn right at the 1st traffic light, not as per the google map, yu will see his hawker at the front of the coffee shop just a few meters from the traffic lights.
